Yeah mutt rules, still use it for list e-mail from Linux mailman lists.
Have it setup to use Google IMAP on another Gmail account I have too.
Bev you might want to check out Google's IMAP rather than using SMTP
locally. That's so 90's. Thunderbird supports IMAP too. :-P
The whole point is to NOT have my email out in the cloud. Google may
keep a secret copy or it may not, but on the off-chance that they're
honest I clear out the site every so often.
It's easy enough to copy my thunderbird mail files when I update/backup
my computer.

I do *all* my mail from *home*. If I am away, I ssh into my home boxes
and post from there. This way I have access to everything and do
not have
to jump thru hoops.... for *anything*.
When I'm not at home I turn my machine off.

There is always the *possibility*. I cannot comment on tb as I have
never
used it. I started using mutt when there was still netscape and even
before that, never changed. I'm a keyboard user, never liked mice and
gui's.
My husband has NEVER used a GUI on his main machine. He put together a
secondary machine just to run X and whatever other stuff might require
it. He feels dirty, though :-)
I use whatever is necessary. Even windows sometimes...
